Hello
From Brasil! I can’t believe it is the last and final email of my mission. I am
very emotional. I can’t believe that it has finally come to an end. I have been
thinking hard these past couple of weeks about how much I love my Savior and
how much the mission made me realize that--how much closer I have come to the Lord.
The mission has changed me. I am emotional just writing this. Also thinking
next week on Wednesday I get to hug my parents for the first time in 18
months....
My heart
is full of thanks and love for all of the people I have met, for all the trials
I have faced and conquered. I will never forget the experiences that have
touched my heart so deeply. My mission has meant the world to me. I would do it
again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for all the encouragement and love that
I have felt from family and friends. I wouldn’t have gotten through this
without you guys. I am so grateful that I had the chance for 18 months to be a
representative of Christ and to teach repentance and help others come unto
Christ.
This last
week we have many things going on. We will have a baptism on Friday and on Sunday
Sister Jacome and I have to give a talk in Church. Tomorrow I have my last
Interview with President Hart.
Thank you
to everyone who helped me along this journey. Thanks for all the emails and the
packages that I received. I can’t wait to see you all NEXT
WEEEKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love,
Sister
